Ink in the Blood shows the vivid life of Melbourne's big newspapers and their deep imprint on the city, its culture and collective psyche. From industrial workers steeped in ink to suited gentlemen presiding over their print empires, there were ranks of reporters, editors, photographers, typists, compositors, printers, truck-drivers and newsboys.

Ink in the Blood features work by Ron Tandberg, Angus O'Callaghan, Mark Strizic, Kenny Pittock and Stephen Armstrong.
